About the tides at Mill Creek

Mill Creek has a semidiurnal tide: two highs and two lows of similar height each day, about 12 hours and 25 minutes apart. The pattern follows the reference station at Sandy Hook, Fort Hancock. Water here rises and falls only about 1.6 ft on an average day. A strong onshore wind can push levels above the prediction. That is smaller than most New Jersey stations on this site. Over the next two weeks the biggest daily range, 2.1 ft, comes on October 10, and the smallest, 1.5 ft, on Sunday.

Tides here are worked out from the reference station at Sandy Hook, Fort Hancock, with NOAA time and height corrections. Times are good for planning, but local wind can shift them. NOAA measured the tide here in 1977 to set up these predictions. The nearest other station is Manahawkin Creek, 0.9 mi away, where high tide comes about 18 min later. For tidal currents, see Manahawkin Drawbridge.

Predictions are based on Sandy Hook, Fort Hancock.
